[Leadership Summit] Catching a wave

[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] We’ve all heard – and mocked – the various leadership team builds and lectures involving lion prides, wild dogs, bush babies, the nomadic tribes of Albania… Inspirational, but often low on content. I’m expecting high content value and high impact at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in Sandton today,Wednesday, 22 July 2009. First up is the ultimate surfer dude, Shaun Tomson, with 12 simple lessons for ‘riding through life’, drawn from his experience as world surfing champ.

[Leadership Summit] The surfer’s code

[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] Who knew surfing could teach you about leadership? Surfer champ and entrepreneur Shaun Tomson started off the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit by speaking about inspiration and inspirational leadership in a sweet and touching presentation; not really wow, but it is good to be reminded of some of the usual life lessons from a different paradigm.

[Leadership Summit] Great leadership is the antidote to great change

[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] Discovery CEO Adrian Gore was witty, direct and engaging this morning in addressing the attributes of success. He presented a handy popular business roadmap (drawn mostly from business books out there) that seemed to promote the journey to success as such: ‘You drop out of college... come up with an idea... start a business in your garage... and become a millionaire overnight.’

How did you survive this recession?

[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] As we near the end of this year, most people will heave a sigh of relief. It’s been a tough one in many industries, and while South Africa may not have been as badly off as some elsewhere in the world, there’s no doubt that we’ve had to work harder for our money this year!
